Earlier this week MindTouch took part in the first ever GlueCon in Denver, CO. MindTouch was a participant in the exhibit hall and panel session. It was great seeing MindTouch users, partners and customers like Intuit, Gigya, Avaya, and NASA. It was exciting and an honor for us to be a part of such a forward thinking, talented group. And props to the Norlin team for being the glue that holds us all together!

Aaron Fulkerson presenting.

Aaron Fulkerson, MindTouch CEO, lead a Post-It Note Keynote session on Tuesday: “What is Web Oriented Architecture?” From the chatter coming from Twitter I knew it had been a great (and most likely controversial) presentation.

One attendee @kevinmatheny Tweeted:

What is this Jamaican reference anyway, Aaron? After the presentation was done, Aaron announced that the presentation would be available on SlideShare so I immediately took a look to see what I missed. Even though I’m not a technical person I still got a kick out of his presentation and enjoyed reading it through its entirety. I can only imagine what the live version was like!

After seeing how wonderful the Community Choice Awards (CCA) are when I visited the SourceForge office recently I’ve become obsessed. These are cute little robots with working LEDs, switches, sensors that make music…errr…noise. I must have one to go next to the 2009 Jolt Award for Best Enterprise App (watch video) MindTouch won. My precious….These trophies are really really cool and very cute. Please nominate and vote for MindTouch rabidly. This year we’re going to pull out all the stops. We will remind you in the newsletter. On MindTouch.com, the blogs, the dev community. If it encourages voting I’ll even be willing to do something inane if the community wins a CCA for MindTouch. The community can feel free to select whatever inane act they deem appropriate. Please, bring the votes!

The finalists are determined by the number of nominations each project receives. Please nominate MindTouch for the “Best Commercial Open Source Project” category.

PLEASE VOTE like rabid rabbits. Time is limited. Thanks.

We have a lot of customers who are interested in mashups and connecting systems to create automated intelligence within their organization - so this week’s Webinar is all about creating mashups and composite applications using MindTouch. This is going to be a high value, how-to Webinar session that will provide you with an abundance of knowledge and ideas you can take back to your colleagues & implement within your own MindTouch installation.

So mark your calendars for “Using MindTouch to Create Mashups and Composite Applications”, Wednesday, May 6 at 11am(PDT).
